Which standards does the system meet?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nGeoplast Formwork Systems were developed within an ISO9001<\/strong> certified organization, and performance is rated according to the relevant European standards:\r\n\r\nDIN 18218:2008<\/strong>: Pressure of fresh concrete on vertical formwork;\r\nEN 206-1<\/strong> Concrete \u2013 Part 1: Specification, performance,\u00a0production, and conformity;\r\nDIN 1045<\/strong>: Guideline Concrete,\u00a0reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.\r\n

Are<\/b>\u00a0plastic <\/b>formworks<\/b> environmentally<\/b> safe<\/b>?<\/b><\/h3>\r\nGeoplast reusable Formworks are made of ABS<\/strong> (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer), with some elements and accessories made of polyamide (Nylon). These polymers are non-toxic, chemically stable, resistant to most chemicals and are not attacked or corroded by elements and pests.\r\n\r\nAn\u00a0MSDS <\/b>(Material Safety Data Sheet<\/strong>) is available for each component, stating that:\r\n– This product does not meet the definition of a hazardous material given in CEE 1999\/45 and subsequent amendments;\r\n– The product is environmentally friendly as made of recycled plastic.\r\n\r\nThe relevant MSDS will be provided on request.\r\n

Can the system be customized?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nGeoplast manufactures Formwork Systems which include a catalog of different modular parts<\/strong>. All available parts can be assembled in a very large number of combinations,\u00a0allowing the user to build his own formwork without having to alter or modify anything.\r\n

Which is the maximum pour height\/admissible pour rate?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nGeoplast Formwork is rated up to 80 kN\/m2<\/strong> fresh concrete pressure. Under normal conditions, this always allows a pour height of 3 m<\/strong> in a single lift (up to 6 m<\/strong> for Geotub circular formwork). The admissible pour rate and height are calculated according to DIN 18218:2008 (Pressure of fresh concrete on vertical formwork).For detailed indications please check the Geoplast Technical Manual for your product of choice.\r\n

Do Formworks resist to intense heat and cold temperatures?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe material has proved its durability in operating conditions ranging from -30\u00b0C to +70\u00b0C<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFind out more about Geoplast Formworks Solutions<\/a>:\r\n
